Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong condition. It is characterized by complex etiologies, including disruptions in exogenous retinoic acid (RA) signaling, which may serve as an environmental risk factor. Targeting the RA pathway presents a promising therapeutic avenue, though the precise mechanisms remain to be elucidated.

Myosin-5a facilitates stress granule formation by interacting with G3BP1.

Stress granules (SGs) are non-membranous organelles composed of mRNA and proteins that assemble in the cytosol when the cell is under stress. Although the composition of mammalian SGs is both cell-type and stress-dependent, they consistently contain core components, such as Ras GTPase activating protein SH3 domain binding protein 1 (G3BP1). Upon stress, living cells rapidly assemble micrometric SGs, sometimes within a few minutes, suggesting that SG components may be actively transported by the microtubule and/or actin cytoskeleton.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how astrocytes and microglia change after an ischemic stroke, focusing on alternative splicing (AS) of genes, which has not been extensively explored before.
  • Researchers analyzed Ribo-Tag-seq data from male and female mice and found a significant increase in differential alternative splicing events, with astrocytes showing 109 events at 4 hours and 320 at 3 days poststroke, while microglia had 316 and 266, respectively.
  • The research highlights how these alternative splicing events are connected to important functions like immune response and metabolism, revealing the complexity of the molecular responses in the brain after a stroke.

Article Synopsis
  • Spitz melanocytic neoplasms often have chromosomal rearrangements that lead to recurring gene fusions, primarily involving ALK, with key partners like TPM3 and DCTN1.
  • While ALK fusions are mainly linked to Spitz nevi and atypical Spitz tumors, occurrences in Spitz melanoma are very rare.
  • This study presents a unique case of Spitz melanoma featuring an SLC20A1::ALK fusion, alongside various chromosomal changes typical of melanoma and a mutation in GRM3.

BMP-2 regulates the expression of myosin Va via smad in melan-a melanocyte.

Myosin Va (Myo Va) is one of three protein complexes involved in melanosome transport. In this study, we identified BMP-2 as an up-regulator of Myo Va expression using 2-methyl-naphtho[1,2,3-de]quinolin-8-one (MNQO). Our results showed that MNQO reduced the mRNA and protein expression of Myo Va and BMP-2 in melanocytes.
